Informácie o knihe
First advertised as a “mind-stretching experience,” Nicolas Roeg’s 1976&,nbsp,The Man Who Fell to Earth&,nbsp,stunned the cinema world. A&,nbsp,tour-de-force of science fiction as art form, the movie brought not only hallucinatory visuals and a haunting exploration of contemporary alienation, but also glam-rock legend&,nbsp,David Bowie&,nbsp,in his lead role debut&,nbsp,as paranoid alien Newton.Based on Walter Tevis’s 1963 sci-fi fable of the same title,&,nbsp,The Man Who Fell to Earthfollows alien Newton from his arrival on earth in search of water, his transition to wealthy entrepreneur, leveraging the advanced technologies of his native planet, his sexual awakening with the young Mary-Lou, and then the discovery of his alien identity, his imprisonment, abandonment, and descent into alcoholism. Throughout, Roeg coaxed a beguiling performance from his cast, presenting not only&,nbsp,Bowie&,nbsp,in ethereal space-traveler glory, but also pitch-perfect supporting performances from&,nbsp,Candy Clark, Rip Torn, and Buck Henry.To celebrate the 40th anniversary of this cult movie, TASCHEN’s&,nbsp,The Man Who Fell to Earth&,nbsp,presents a plenitude of&,nbsp,stills and behind-the-scenes images&,nbsp,by unit photographer David James, including numerous shots of Bowie at his playful and ambiguous best. A new introductory essay explores the shooting of the film and it’s lasting impact, drawing upon an exclusive interview with David James, who brings first-hand insights into the making of this sci-fi masterwork.
